In this class we will be discussing how to plan for the first 12 weeks postpartum. We will discuss realistic expectations, sleep, self-care and other ways to promote healing and emotional well being.

A postpartum care plan will be included. Please have your partner or support person attend with you.

The class will be taught by our Nurse | Allison LaRusso, RN, PMH-C

Bio: My name is Allison and I am a nurse and a mother. I am also certified in perinatal mental health through Postpartum Support International. I have worked at The Birth Center for two years but I’ve been a patient for over a decade, having two of my three babies here. I have a deep passion for supporting women and families during pregnancy and motherhood. This love was born from my own experience as a mother, where I had to overcome my own struggles. It was only with the love, support, and compassion from those around me that I was able to pull myself from the darkness.

Now, I am honored and delighted to be able to do the same for others.
